About the Author

Anjie Coates has spent her life mastering the art of the groom, but her true passion lies in the stories that happen between the shears. A firm believer that precision is the foundation of the craft and that a salon is only as good as its sanitation protocols, Anjie brings raw, professional authenticity to the mystery genre.

As the voice behind The Grooming Witch, Anjie explores the deep, often unspoken connection between humans and their animals. Drawing on her experience with her "Home Council" of dogs, her writing blends the gritty reality of a small-town thriller with the haunting possibility that our companions never truly leave us.

When she isn't writing about the secrets of Hillsdale, she’s likely in the salon, listening to the hum of the clippers and the quiet wisdom of the pack.

“I believe that the loyalty of a good dog, living or spirit, is the most powerful force there is.” ~Anjie Coates
